Lohan blames Clare board for deficiencies on logistical issues

FORMER Clare All-Ireland winning All Star full-back Brian Lohan has queried the role played by county board delegates and suggested that access to pitches and logistical issues were problems faced by the Clare minor hurling management team in 2009.

It was revealed at the November meeting of the Clare County Board that the Shannon man would not be part of the minor management team in 2010. “What I have gone on record as saying before is that the biggest problem I found being involved with the county minor team was the availability of pitches. We just couldn’t get fields,” the Shannon man told the Clare Champion.

“If it wasn’t for St Flannan’s and the help we got from the Newmarket club and from Clarecastle, we’d have had nowhere to train.
